M. E. EKPENYONG AND B. L. IBANGAABSTRACT. In this paper, a Random Linear Network Cod-ing (RLNC) scheme which takes advantage of redundant net-work capacity for improved success probability and robustnessof wireless communication networks is proposed. We providesucient literature and illustrate vital potential bene ts of thisscheme over the normal Hierarchical Routing Scheme (HRS).Our model derivation yields a new bound on the required eldsize with useful transition probabilities. Speci cally, the systemoverheads of both schemes are compared through extensive com-puter simulations in an ideal network setting. Simulation resultsreveal that optimum eld size for e ective throughput and over-head management are achievable with the RLNC scheme, andthe delivery ratio can be controlled by varying the number ofsubnets (k) in both schemes.
